Westell router is 192.168.1.1 ... or at least that's the IP I use to get to
the control functions of the router itself, e.g., the security configurators

route print to temp.txt yielded:

Active Routes:

So, what does this tell us??? there is no other network adapter.
Control Panel, Device mgr shows:

Dialup Adapter
Dialup Adapter #2 MPN Support
Linksys Wireless (that's what I'm trying to get to work.... or any wireless
adapter)
Microsoft VPN
SMC ICC (infrared controller)

If I look at the Linksys properties......shows all is working properly. I
know Windows is sometimes flaky.........

I'm using the sw which came with Linksys G adapter... not anything which is

the profile for wireless on that laptop via the Linksys sw and can't see
anything "odd", but I'm not a network guru, either. Anything else I can
look at? I use this same adapter with my own laptop, but it runs XP
Home........... so that's different.


If you have connected the wireless bit okay (ie. same wep passphrase
on the router and laptop, and the router is configured to allow
connections from the mac address of the laptop) then you should be
able to ping the ip address of the router from the laptop. Does that
work? If so, the problem isn't with the wireless settings.

What does the routing table of the laptop say? That might shed some
light.
ie from a command prompt type "route print c:\temp.txt" and post the
contents of temp.txt here.

Like the other poster said, if there is another network card on this
machine, that could cause problems and it needs to be disabled.
